The optimum penetration of distributed generations into the distribution grid provides several technical and economic benefits. However, the computational time required to solve the constrained optimization problems increases with the increasing network scale and may be too long for online implementations. This paper presents a parallel solution of a multi-objective distributed generation (DG) allocation and sizing problem to handle a large number of computations. The aim is to find the optimum number of processors in addition to energy loss and DG cost minimization. The proposed formulation is applied to a 33-bus test system, and the results are compared with themselves and with the base case operating conditions using the optimal values and three popular multi-objective optimization metrics. The results show that comparable solutions with high-efficiency values can be obtained up to a certain number of processors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Excessive penetration of renewable energy resources into the distribution grid without additional preventive measures has led to several operational problems. However, most strategies developed to accommodate more renewable energy units suffered from other operational problems. Therefore, further efforts are needed to address the other key vulnerabilities of the grid in addition to maximizing the hosting capacity. In this regard, this study is devoted to a new multi-objective formulation to maximize the hosting capacity and minimize the total energy losses while satisfying the operational constraints and maximizing the energy transferred to off-peak hours. The Multi-Objective Advanced Gray Wolf Optimization (MOAGWO) algorithm is used as a solution tool. The proposed formulation and solution algorithm are tested on IEEE-33-bus and 69-bus medium voltage test systems. The impacts of energy storage systems, voltage regulators, and static var compensators on the hosting capacity and the objective functions are identified using several scenarios. The results showed that the optimal device type and locations depend on the level of DG penetration. Finally, a comparison according to two popular multi-objective performance indices showed that the quality of the Pareto front distribution obtained by MOAGWO was better than the ones obtained with the two other popular heuristic methods. • Maximization of the hosting capacity while minimizing the energy losses. • Maximization of the energy transferred to the off-peak hours through intelligent control. • Multi-Objective Advanced GWO algorithm to determine the Pareto front solutions. • Singular and collaborative impacts of the reinforcement units on the objectives. • High-quality Pareto solutions and high computational efficiency of MOAGWO.

In this article, a novel approach based on game theory is presented for multi-objective optimal synthesis of four-bar mechanisms. The multi-objective optimization problem is modelled as a Stackelberg game. The more important objective function, tracking error, is considered as the leader, and the other objective function, deviation of the transmission angle from 90° (TA), is considered as the follower. In a new approach, a group method of data handling (GMDH)-type neural network is also utilized to construct an approximate model for the rational reaction set (RRS) of the follower. Using the proposed game-theoretic approach, the multi-objective optimal synthesis of a four-bar mechanism is then cast into a single-objective optimal synthesis using the leader variables and the obtained RRS of the follower. The superiority of using the synergy game-theoretic method of Stackelberg with a GMDH-type neural network is demonstrated for two case studies on the synthesis of four-bar mechanisms.

In this paper, a fuzzy rule-based system (FRS) has been used for optimal reliability-based robust controller design for a two-mass-spring system with probabilistic uncertainties in its parameters. In this way, a multiobjective uniform-diversity genetic algorithm (MUGA) is first used to find a Pareto front of two-mass-spring system in a deterministic approach. This paper considers a two-mass-spring system under an impulse input. Two conflicting objective functions in this model include settling time of the second mass and control effort exerted on the first mass. Consequently, such Pareto front is then obtained for a two-mass-spring system with probabilistic uncertainties in its parameters using the probabilities of failure of those objective functions through a Monte Carlo simulation approach. It is shown that the FRS system removes the difficulty of selecting suitable crisp values and obligation due to a defining limit state function. Besides, the multiobjective Pareto optimization of such robust controllers using MUGA unveils some very important and informative trade-offs among those objective functions. Consequently, some optimum robust controllers can be compromisingly chosen from the Pareto frontiers. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The use of energy storage systems (ESS) and distributed generators (DGs) to improve reliability is one of the solutions that has received much attention from researchers today. In this study, we utilize a multi-objective optimization method for optimal planning of distributed generators in electric distribution networks from the perspective of multi-objective optimization. The objective is to improve the reliability of the network while reducing the annual cost and network losses. A modified version of the multi-objective sine–cosine algorithm is used to determine the optimal size, location, and type of DGs and the optimal capacity, location, and operation strategy of the ESS. Three case studies of IEEE 33-bus, 69-bus and 141-bus test systems with Turkish DG and load data were conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The distribution of the Pareto front solutions and the optimal objective functions are compared with the other known algorithms. The simulation results show that the average energy not supplied and annual energy losses for the test systems are reduced by up to 68% and 64%, respectively. Moreover, the Pareto fronts of the proposed method show a better distribution and dominate those obtained by MOGWO, MOSMA, NSGA-II, MOPSO and MOEA-D according to three different Pareto optimization metrics. Finally, the computational effort result shows faster convergence of MOSCA compared to MOGWO, MOSMA, NSGA-II, MOPSO and MOEAD. • Optimal DER planning and ESS management in EDNs using a three-dimensional multiobjective optimization framework • DN Reliability improvement together with power losses and annual cost minimization. • 72 h optimization period to account the seasonal characteristics of the load and the DGs. • Real load curve and wind and solar radiation data of Turkish territory. • Multi objective sine–cosine algorithm providing better Pareto fronts according to two performance indices.
